Is it possible to ban users from posting issues on GitHub to your project?

You can turn off the "issues" tab in your GitHub repository via Repo Settings > Options > Features > Issues.

Then they go and search for your email address in your commits. Some of these people are really persistent.

If individual users are being persistent and causing problems, you can ban them. But if your problem is caused by a large number of different users, each coming across the project for the first time and creating annoying issues/PRs, banning doesn't help.
